About Classifying Cavity Insert Assembly Components
It is important to classify the components in the cavity insert assembly for the following reasons:
To calculate the outline of the cavity insert assembly. These dimensions are used in the mold base definition to select the size of the mold base, to create a cavity layout, or to create the cutouts in the cavity plates.
To avoid any geometric modifications on the workpiece or on the reference part of the cavity insert assembly. These modifications can cause regeneration failures.
To identify the reference part. This part is used in several operations, such as trimming ejector pins.
1. Click EMX Manufacturing Mode > Classify. The Classify dialog box opens.
2. Select a component to classify from the Model Tree on the left.
3. Component can be classified by selecting a model type in the Model list in the Model Type column. The following types of models are available:
Model—General model.
WorkpieceCreo Parametric workpiece.
Insert MH—Extracts a moving half. When you select this type of model, the part ID and the part name are automatically added.
Insert FH—Extracts a fixed half. When you select this type of model, the part ID and the part name are automatically added.
Reference Model—Used when performing interference checks. Important for the ejector pin designer.
Insert Assembly—Used when measuring the outline of the included insert MH and insert FH models.
4. Select the Use the selected insert assembly size check box to calculate the outline of the cavity insert assembly.
* 
This option is available only when an insert assembly is selected.
5. Select the Rename Extracts check box to rename all insert MH and insert FH components with the specific part name, and to save part ID parameters.
6. Click OK to recalculate the insert assembly outline, rename the insert models, and to save component settings, or click Cancel to close the dialog box without saving changes.
* 
If the configuration option ADD_TRIM_FACE_IN_CORE is set to YES, EMX will automatically create a ‘Solid surface Copy’ to all models classified as Reference Model.
